Ronnie Belliard hit ninth-inning homers off
Shingo Takatsu. and the
Cleveland Indians rallied from a five-run deficit to beat the
Chicago White Sox 11-5 Thursday behind
Victor Martinez's go-ahead single in the 11th.
The White Sox built a 5-0 lead by the fourth inning against starter
Cliff Lee but were stymied by
Rafael Betancourt,
David Riske,
Bob Howry,
Arthur Rhodes (1-0) and
Matt Miller, who combined for 7 2-3 innings of three-hit, shutout relief.
Crisp started the comeback with an RBI single in the fifth off
Jose Contreras, and Ronnie Belliard had a sacrifice fly in the seventh against
Cliff Politte.
Blake's homer leading off the ninth cut the deficit to 5-3, and Takatsu gave up two-out homers to Crisp and Belliard on consecutive pitches. After Takatsu walked
Travis Hafner and gave up a single to Martinez,
Luis Vizcaino relieved and retired
Aaron Boone on a popout.

Grady Sizemore followed with a two-run single.
A.J. Pierzynski hit his first home run for the White Sox, and
Paul Konerko added a two-run single to back Contreras, who allowed one run and four hits in six innings.
